When Mike and I came out to house-hunt from Philly, and looked at our current house, (almost 2 years ago now!) we fell in love with the view immediately. The Grateful Dead Tapastry in our neighbors yard just sealed the deal.

“This is it,” Mike said, pointing to the mountains, then to the tie-dye. And so, we were introduced to Uncle Rico.

We couldn’t love Colorado any more, but our neighbor, Rico, has been the best neighbor. EVER. When we travel, he’ll climb over the fence to watch our Winnie & Haley, so they can stay in the comfort of their own home. And perhaps right up there with loving our dogs, he keeps us in fresh Arugula.

Today, after spotting him at our Farmer’s Market, he dropped off a huge bushel of home grown arugula. The best, freshest, loveliest arugula ya ever did see. So today’s lunch was made in his honor.

Add some olive oil to a pan. Saute garlic, onion and pepper for about 6 minutes on medium heat. Add the potato with a tablespoon or two of water to the pan. Mix, then cover with a lid, stirring ever 4 minutes or so. Cook about 10-15 minutes until browned. Top with arugula and mix until a bit withered, turn heat off.

Roast the peppers (brushing them lightly with olive oil) & garlic & onion at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. When done throw carrots in food processor until shredded. Then throw all other ingredients. Blend until smooth.

Assembling Sweet Potato Enchiladas

Spoon enchilada sauce into the bottom of a baking dish. Fill tortillas, wrap up and top with sauce. I baked at 375 for about 15 minutes.

Delicious!

Serve & Enjoy!

Happy Cooking

It all began 20+ years ago, in high school, when a boy met a girl and fell in love. Big parties, summer vacations, a big red jeep. Happiness came easy and was plentiful. Ah, but youth is wasted on the young and so the boy and girl went their separate ways....
Fast forward through college, first & second apartments, trips around the world, motorcycle accidents, moves to different cities, jobs and more jobs, starting a company, falling for two horribly wrong people which led to two broken engagements, then reuniting with each other, moving to Colorado, starting another business together. Yup, that about sums it up.
That leaves us, Catie & Mike, 20+ years later. We saw the world apart & now are venturing through, exploring happiness together. From creating new tastes in the kitchen, to venturing to new countries, hiking, biking or skiing, touring craft brews, entertaining friends and family, to upgrading the house, or flipping and gutting an investment property, it's us, enjoying the ride. We're not making up for lost time, we're just not losing any more of it.
And so our happy adventures begin...Follow us at happyandweknowit.com
